Rockies released C Paul Lo Duca.

Lo Duca was trying to make a comeback, but with Miguel Olivo playing well and Chris Ianetta working hard to regain his position with the Rockies, Lo Duca's road to the majors was a rough one. The 38-year-old hasn't been in the majors since 2008 and is rapidly coming to the end of his career. Still, many teams feel that veteran catchers are an asset within the organization, so he may yet latch on with someone else. Lo Duca is a career .286/.337/.409 hitter. Sat, May 29, 2010 03:51:00 PM

Lo Duca, who turns 38 in April, was 6-for-27 (.222) during Cactus League action. He plans to accept the minor league assignment. Tue, Mar 30, 2010 08:52:00 PM

Rockies non-roster invitee Paul Lo Duca would be willing to accept a minor league assignment with Triple-A Colorado Springs.

"I'm OK with that," said Lo Duca. "When you haven't played in a year and a half, basically, you need to get back in the swing of things. To go there and get some at-bats regularly would be great. I know there are a lot of guys there that need to get at-bats, too." Lo Duca, who turns 38 in April, is 4-for-22 (.217) this spring. Tue, Mar 23, 2010 08:39:00 PM

According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post, the Mariners have scouted Rockies non-roster invitee Paul Lo Duca this spring.

Lo Duca, who turns 38 in April, is just 4-for-21 (.190) during exhibition action, but he has impressed scouts with his receiving skills and versatility, according to Renck. With Rob Johnson working his way back from offseason surgeries, Lo Duca wouldn't be the worst veteran fallback in Seattle, though it is unlikely. Renck suggests the Tigers as another team looking for a veteran backstop. Thu, Mar 18, 2010 05:35:00 PM

Rockies placed OF Corey Dickerson on the 15-day disabled list with non-displaced fractures of two ribs.

An MRI exam revealed Friday that Dickerson had sustained non-displaced fractures of two ribs on his right side while diving for a line drive during Thursday's contest against the Cardinals. It's the third time that the outfielder has been forced to the disabled list this season. There is no clear timetable for his return at the moment.

He left Friday's start after throwing just 25 pitches. Kendrick could be dealing with a rotator cuff injury, which sometimes requires surgery. His roster spot will be absorbed by right-hander Scott Oberg.

Rockies placed LHP David Hale on the 15-day disabled list with a left groin strain.

Hale sustained the injury in Thursday's game against the Braves. As the strain is believed to be minor, he should require just the minimum time on the disabled list and be ready to return in late July.

Rockies recalled LHP Tyler Anderson from Triple-A Albuquerque and placed on the 60-day disabled list with an elbow injury.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Aaron Laffey who had his contract purchased from Triple-A on Friday. Anderson has been dealing with problems with his pitching elbow since early in the spring.
